AB  - Patient education ensures that health care team is working together on patient’s individual medication
plan, in conjunction with the rest of treatment is vital to their recovery. Medication management is part of every
patient’s plan of care. On an initial visit a clinician completes a comprehensive medication reconciliation.
However, education is provided to every patient based on each medication the patient is prescribed. This
includes its purpose, how and when to take it and how much of the medication to take. Medication
reconciliation ensures that every possible side effect and interaction will be taken care that patient’s
medications could possibly cause. Patients and caregivers are instructed symptoms that need to be reported
to the physician based on the medication side effects and possible interactions with other medications/food.
